Auuuhhh, LIFE IS TOUGH FOR FAT ANGRY OLD WHITE MEN TOO
In an article in this week's New Yorker, Hendrik Hertzberg basically tells limbaugh he'll meet him after school to beat his fat draft dodging ass. But then backs off because it's too easy to beat up this sad little drug addict pussy. And it really is. I'm not going to get political. But I did suffer through medical school. So I get to get on my high horse and get medical while you shut up and take it.
Hertzberg only hints at it. But it's not really a big secret that people with serious drug addictions have underlying mental problems. You don't just stumble into a 20 pill/day addiction because you're happy and well adjusted to life. Human instinct is to self-medicate. When you stub your toe, you rub it. When you're a disturbed individual you take drugs...or start a mean-spirited radio talk show. There's also the unspoken rule among doctors that people with overly-serious religious convictions have underlying mental problems. I don't care what your political convictions are. Rush, Ashcroft and a lot of these washington aholes aren't just mean. No normal person is that mean and so concerned with what others are up to. They're seriously disturbed people. Very frustrated with the world, very alone, very confused and very very angry. They should be in therapy, not in congress, not in the cabinet and certainly not in the sterile, gullible public eye.
